LOL, ironic eh? imlad Send a noteboard - 19/10/2009 07:38:14 PM
Hope you know how that sounded.


I hadn't thought of that stance until I was watching one episode of the West Wing when somebody suggested that the government stopped being involved with marriage. Made sense to me. Still does. I do realize that there would be problems (like protecting the rights of a spouse when it comes to medical care and such).

I make no bones about the fact that some of my opinions and beliefs seem contradictory at times. I know that. Despite the fact that a few people call me a liberal sheep, I don't always agree with the typical "liberal viewpoint" (for one, I abhor the way Affirmative Action works in this country--that has caused lots of arguements between me and my liberal friends).

That is what you were talking about right? Or did I miss something?

(EDITed for spelling errors)
Death to the Regressives of the GOP and the TeaParty. No mercy for Conservatives. Burn them all at the stake for the hateful satanists they are.

What? He seems like a pretty rational guy. Craig - 16/10/2009 04:08:36 AM 491 Views
Yeah, he DOES have black friends! He even treats them like everyone else! Lol. everynametaken - 16/10/2009 05:15:13 AM 487 Views
Yeah. They don't have to crap in the yard. He says they can use his bathroom. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 16/10/2009 03:47:24 PM 228 Views
Hell, I have friends who won't let me do that. *NM* Craig - 16/10/2009 06:46:37 PM 199 Views
To get technical, he doesn't say he lets them... just that they do. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 16/10/2009 07:11:29 PM 235 Views
I can't imagine why anyone would want to crap in this guy's lawn... it's a puzzler. *NM* Craig - 16/10/2009 08:57:06 PM 240 Views
WTF? what is wrong with people?! this makes me wanna pull my hair out! its 2009!!!! Aisha - 16/10/2009 04:19:49 AM 554 Views
How are mixed race children treated in Louisiana? Here, nobody under the age of 60 could care less Tashmere - 16/10/2009 05:19:49 AM 482 Views
I was thinking the same thing. everynametaken - 16/10/2009 06:41:07 AM 467 Views
aren't Cajuns a mix of multiple races (whites and indians mostly)?? Cajuns ARE Loiusiana *NM* imlad - 16/10/2009 05:05:18 PM 187 Views
There really are not that many Cajuns Loiusiana random thoughts - 16/10/2009 06:12:07 PM 432 Views
There are a fair amount. *NM* Ghavrel - 17/10/2009 07:25:21 AM 168 Views

You're confusing Cajuns with Creoles. Ghavrel - 17/10/2009 07:28:35 AM 426 Views

Depends on where you are. Ghavrel - 17/10/2009 07:30:54 AM 423 Views
That's just absurd. *NM* Sophy - 16/10/2009 06:46:39 AM 182 Views
Some unions are opposed because they can't breed - but here the ability to breed is the problem! Cannoli - 16/10/2009 11:37:34 AM 671 Views
Wild guess: Civil rights act? Floffe - 16/10/2009 03:04:58 PM 486 Views
Personal freedoms trump that. He was not outlawing or preventing it, just refusing to go along. Cannoli - 16/10/2009 03:34:22 PM 456 Views
In this case it might not make much of a difference, but you can't allow it as a general rule. Legolas - 16/10/2009 03:39:52 PM 419 Views
Isn't JP a government position? In that case, his personal freedoms have nothing to do with it *NM* Floffe - 16/10/2009 03:55:32 PM 231 Views
This. beetnemesis - 16/10/2009 05:46:10 PM 407 Views
So the officials who obeyed the laws supporting race discrimination were doing good? *NM* Cannoli - 17/10/2009 04:26:13 PM 186 Views
I'm not sure why I bother with you Floffe - 17/10/2009 04:34:36 PM 453 Views
the government should just get their fingers out of the marriage business imlad - 16/10/2009 05:14:02 PM 463 Views

seems like a very liberal stance to me random thoughts - 27/10/2009 04:55:14 PM 394 Views
A judge is not a private citizen beetnemesis - 16/10/2009 05:43:44 PM 454 Views
Is it really discrimination? He is not singling out any race, which is what discrimination means... Cannoli - 17/10/2009 04:37:11 PM 522 Views
Are you really saying that individuals cannot be discriminated against, only groups? *NM* Floffe - 17/10/2009 04:46:33 PM 174 Views
Um, it seems to me he's discriminating against mixed-race children. *NM* Craig - 18/10/2009 03:44:34 AM 174 Views
He's singling out mixed-race couples beetnemesis - 19/10/2009 04:59:17 AM 610 Views
Good call on the minors Floffe - 19/10/2009 08:29:44 AM 565 Views
Yeah, that's a good analogy beetnemesis - 19/10/2009 03:55:23 PM 436 Views

Psh, everyone knows that mixed-race babies are the cutest, anyway beetnemesis - 16/10/2009 05:51:03 PM 443 Views
Another argument in support of the judge - cute babies are jerks. Ugly babies are much friendlier Cannoli - 17/10/2009 04:25:20 PM 452 Views
